The music was composed of several short themes, which were dynamically
combined during the show to produce several distinct but interrelated
background pieces. This utilized some obscure features of vss, the sound
server; namely, the ability to create a sequence, and add or subtract
samples from that sequence while playing it. To compose the pieces, I made
a program in which I could add and subtract themes, shift timings and listen
to the results. This is an example of
various combinations of the above themes.
